How to Schedule a Visit at Lawrence County Jail (Walnut Ridge, AR)

Visitation at Lawrence County Jail happens on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, from 8:15 AM to 3:45 PM. When you call to schedule, you'll pick a specific time slot within that window.

Each inmate gets one visit per week, and visits last ten minutes. Pick a time you can actually make - and give yourself some buffer so you're not rushing to get there.

Call the Lawrence County Detention Center at (870) 886-2525 to schedule your visit. While you have staff on the line, confirm the current visitation guidelines - especially if you're juggling work, childcare, or a long drive.

Your scheduled time is the start time - whether you're there or not. Show up late, and that time gets deducted from your ten minutes. There's no making it up. A few minutes late can leave you with just a few minutes of actual face time.

Phone Call Checklist

• ✓ Confirm that visits must be scheduled in advance (no drop-ins)
• ✓ Ask what visit times are currently available on Tuesday/Wednesday between 8:15 AM and 3:45 PM
• ✓ Confirm the limit: one visit per week, ten minutes total
• ✓ Ask what identification or documents you need to bring, and write down exactly what staff tell you
• ✓ Confirm how early you should arrive and review the lateness policy (the visit starts at the scheduled time)
• ✓ Write down the date/time of your call and the name of the person you spoke with
